These days we could all use a little more relaxation. We try mediation, yoga, and, of course, there’s always a session with your favorite bong to take the edge off. But sometimes you just need a little more, a little something different for your day-to-day relaxation needs. If this sounds familiar, you’ve probably also heard about CBD and its wild popularity.
CBD infused products offer us so many benefits. If insomnia has you pacing the floors nightly, you can use CBD to get the best sleep of your life. If you’ve got pains and aches innumerable, there is CBD to soothe what ails you. Out of all these modern CBD innovations, one of our favorites is the creation of CBD candles.
What does a CBD candle do?
Most CBD candles are made from soy way and essential oils, meaning they’re designed to be used as massage oils, lotions, etc., as you’re melting them. These candles are infused with CBD, so you can enjoy the soothing benefits of CBD oil while you moisturize and soothe your skin.
Grab one of these awesome candles, light it and let some wax melt, and you’re ready to go. Just pour out a bit of the wax (or dip some out with your hand or a spoon) and enjoy the soothing warmth coupled with essential oil and relaxing CBD. Your body will thank you for taking the time to care for it.
Doesn’t it burn?
Actually, no, not at all! Soy oil melts at much lower temperatures than traditional candle wax (around 102 degrees Fahrenheit actually, just above the average resting body temperature). That way you can apply it right to your body - even somewhat sensitive areas like your back, hands, feet, and face - without fear of painful burns. Instead, you’ll just enjoy the gently warming relaxation from these awesome products.
Do CBD candles work?
Of course! As with any other lotion, balm, or other topical CBD product, you simply apply it right to your skin. The CBD is then absorbed transdermally (through your skin) and goes to work quickly right where you need it. This way you can get the best possible relief in the areas that need it the most.
Can you put CBD oil in a candle?
Please take note here, because you can seriously injure yourself or others if you use products with ingredients not intended for use on the body: while yes, you could put CBD oil in a candle, no, it would not be wise.
First and foremost, typical candles are made with paraffin wax, not soy wax, so they burn very hot and can cause serious burns if you apply that wax to your body. But also, not all CBD products are designed to be taken transdermally, so you may very well be wasting your hard-earned money by trying to improperly use oils like that. Please consider using one of these great candles, made with ingredients you can trust and infused with essential oils and CBD oil from guaranteed sources.
